SCOTTISH BALLET present HANSEL & GRETEL

Unwrap a tasty new winter treat with the world premiere of Christopher Hampson’s fantastical Hansel & Gretel.

Meet Hansel, Gretel and a bewitching ballerina who is not at all as she seems.

Deliciously surreal, mouth-wateringly inventive and with more than a sprinkle of festive magic – do you dare to go down to the woods this winter on an enchanted journey with Scotland’s national dance company?

This brand new Hansel & Gretel takes creative twists and turns inspired by the Grimm Brother’s famous fairy tale – and the stories and imagination of the people of Scotland.

Humperdinck’s evocative score is performed live by the Scottish Ballet orchestra.
